Private chef on board

Hand-picked chefs, used to the space and rhythm of life at sea. The menu follows the route: the morning’s catch becomes lunch at anchor, aperitifs are served at sunset. On our charters or on your own boat.

The service

Signature cuisine that sails with you

Before departure the chef designs the menu for the whole cruise with you: produce from the places you will pass through, the wines, and each guest’s preferences and intolerances.

The chef is part of the crew from day one: we choose them together, introduce them to you before embarkation and coordinate provisioning, wine cellar and itinerary as one.

  • On sailing yachts, motor yachts and catamarans
  • Provisions and wine cellar ready at embarkation
  • A menu that changes with the route
  • A single point of contact for boat and kitchen

On your own boat

Are you an owner? The chef joins your yacht at the port of your choice, for a weekend, a week or a whole season. A preliminary visit to the galley means we arrive with everything we need.

  • Weekend, week or season
  • Preliminary galley inspection
  • Kitchen team sized to the number of guests
  • Even for a single dinner or event
